5-22 Instruments and Controls See Ride Control System Messages on page 5‑37 for more information on the messages associated with this light. For vehicles with an uplevel cluster, this light comes on in the Driver information Center (DIC). Notice: Driving with the engine coolant temperature warning light on could cause the vehicle to overheat. See Engine Overheating on page 10‑19. The vehicle's engine could be damaged, and it might not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Never drive with the engine coolant temperature warning light on. The engine coolant temperature warning light comes on when the engine has overheated. If this happens pull over and turn off the engine as soon as possible. See Engine Overheating on page 10‑19 for more information. For eAssist vehicles, this light comes on briefly while starting the vehicle. If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by the dealer. If the system is working normally, the indicator light goes off. Check the DIC messages to determine which feature(s) is no longer functioning and whether it is because of the driver turning off the feature(s), or because the system is not working properly and the vehicle requires service. If the TCS is disabled, wheel spin is not limited. If the StabiliTrak system is disabled, the system does not aid in maintaining directional control of the vehicle. If the indicator/warning light is on and flashing, the TCS or the StabiliTrak system is actively working. Check the DIC messages for details to determine which system is working. If the LOW TRACTION message appears, the system is limiting wheel spin. If a message appears in the DIC, the system is aiding in maintaining directional control of the vehicle. See StabiliTrak® System on page 9‑37 and Traction Control System (TCS) on page 9‑36 for more information. Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light
